Faith and I are out of school for the summer, and we are eager to explore and seek new adventures! We'll start by checking out the new neighbors and their rickety old house. But what do a creepy old house, American Sign Language, and purple lemonade have in common? Come join us and find out!

EXCERPT

"I can't believe we're doing this," Faith whispered from behind me. We were walking down our street in the dark. "Tiny, how did you drag me into this?"
"Shh!" I hissed. "The ghosts will hear us if you talk."
"Have I ever mentioned that I'm afraid of the dark?" Faith asked me, nudging my shoulder.
"Only a bazillion times! And that's just tonight," I snapped, getting frustrated. "If you're going to be a fraidy cat you might as well go home, and let me do this alone."

"No way," Faith said, standing tall. "I'm not letting my baby sister walk around in dark haunted houses by herself."
"You're a saint," I said sarcastically.
"Obviously, I am. I'm putting aside my fears for you, aren't I?"
"Sh! Did you hear that?" I asked.
"Hear what?" Faith tried to hide behind me.
"Never mind. I think it was just a stray cat or something." I turned my flashlight on and flicked it around, trying to check out the noise.
"You had a flashlight this whole time, and you're just now turning it on?" Faith whined.
"I didn't want anyone to see us," I hissed at Faith. "Stay here."
"What? No! Don't leave me here in the dark." Faith clung to my jacket.
"Just stay behind this bush," I instructed her.
"Fine, but if I see a ghost I'm leaving without you."
I shrugged and started to head toward the house.
"You're taking the flashlight?" Faith asked.
I rolled my eyes, and I handed it to her.
"Thanks," she whispered.
"Now I'm going," I hissed. I walked slowly along the bushes and looked in Dustin's windows. There he was. Old Mr. Jenkins! Seeing him made me so nervous that I tripped over a twig, causing it to snap.
"Uh oh," I said.
